Got 'em. Stupid Axel almost tanked me, though--lol. Took me a while to remember his name
The "A" stands for
adulterer. Shades of The Scarlet Letter!
I said it before and I'll say it again
The "W" carved/branded on the walkers forehead is not a "W" it's am "M" and probably Morgan doing it.
And I loved that the name of one of the streets was "Morgan".
Dahmit. If Morgan doesn't show up in this season I'm gonna ... I'm gonna... huff and puff and blow a horse down.

a also stands for a like at terminus.

I read it like that when I first saw it. lol
Alexandria is starting to look like
doomsday preppers
The latest episode
had me cringing a bit with dread, I HATED that the horse was killed by walkers, please no kids no animals, the whole situation that the group is in is not normal. Three more episodes to go, boyoboyoboy.
For the conspiracy theorists in all of us, consider the following scenario. I'm using spoilers in the event you would rather not read.
The virus which caused the zombie apocalypse was artificially fabricated by the New World Order with the purpose of thinning the weakest, poorest and less fortunate from the human stock. In other words, survival of the fittest. Alexandria would then be one of the places where the best doomsday preppers are selected and trained.
I don't think Carol's
like Lizzy. Lizzy didn't know any better. Carol does. I think she's channeling Lizzy, but also knows the difference between good and bad. She could have just killed the kid.
I think they have to keep Judith around. I still think the cure's in her blood. Maybe. I mean, there have to be babies born in the Walker World if humanity is going to survive.
What I find more unbelievable than a baby surviving in this world is that flimsy aluminum wall holding up against a walker herd. I still say they should find a real gated community, or a mansion with walls around it. Hell, close as they are to DC, they could move into the farking White House and be better protected.

ONLY 3!! UNTIL NEXT OCTOBER! So sad, so sad, so sad... (have to look out for more Z-Nation, I guess--lol)
Starting next week, 17 Mar 2100 on the CW channel is iZombie, looks interesting.
Might be worth taking a look--thanks!
About the overarching conspiracy idea
Now Rick did say they were too lucky, but the story at the CDC with Dr. Jenner seemed to be meant to be taken as a pretty straight-forward recounting of the fall of the world's governments when one of their weaponized viral strains got loose without a sufficient way to contain or stop it. I think that Deanna's group might be lucky like the horse was lucky, but now their time has come. There are wolves outside the gate, but there are wolves inside the gate too. Namely, Carol, and Rick. Rick had a too-greedy look on his face toward the girl who gave him his haircut and was fingering that pilfered pistol. Glenn said they've been out for too long and I think he's right. I also think that it will be Rick who kills Glenn. And perhaps Daryl, Carol. She needs to go. Regardless of Alexandria's sins, or lack thereof, she had no earthly right to threaten that boy the way she did. Also, stealing the guns? I'm glad Daryl had second thoughts. That was a stupid idea. I think the threat/bad guys here are not just the ones carving the w's on the undeads' heads, (and that took a lot of doing, more than I think Morgan would have been capable of alone, besides, how did he know where Noah's parents lived, get there ahead of them, and wipe out the entire community, then chop up those corpses and carve all the 'w's or 'm's on them?) but Rick and Carol. Rick is rotting inside more and more by the moment, and if Carl or Michonne can't straighten him out, and soon, he's going to go the way Carol has gone. I also imagined Carol bringing the shut-in's flowers with their food, especially if some were at death's door. Maybe she can bring cookies, too. Really, though, what she did to that little boy was absolutely unforgivable. Bye-bye Carol, don't let the gate hit your arse on the way out.
About Carol
She did got a bit OTT on the kid, but really there was no other choice. In her shoes, as soon as Little Snotnose (I know he has a name, I just don't know it) said he'd have to tell his mom, because he tells her everything...well, sorry kid, you've just signed your own death warrant right there, because nothing else that comes out of that mouth is stuff I can trust.
We'd have gone for a little walk. He'd wind up on the other side of the fence. As a mercy, I'd make it quick rather than tying him to a tree to be eaten alive, but the end result would be the same.
Now you might be thinking 'Monster!' and in some very important ways you'd be right (bear in mind I'm talking about that exact set of circumstances here, not generally, and even then it is not something I would do lightly; adults...that's different, but again it would need a very specific set of circumstances. I was once a soldier of whatever sort, not a psychopath). But self-preservation is the order of the day. Who among us would really take the chance on a child's good-will? Especially when that child is too young to understand what the consequences might be of him telling? I wouldn't. The one thing I am pretty sure of is that punishment in Alexandria is not something you'd want to experience. Behind the smiles these are some cold people. (Hey, people in glass houses! Here's a stone!
)
Of course people might put two and two together and realize I'd wandered out of the party. If accused, I'd then point out a good few other folks had done the same. Otherwise I'd go through the concern, the futile searching, etc, perhaps after giving the others a handy steer of the 'I did see him but not to speak to. He was walking down so-and-so street. I thought he was going home' variety.
Carol, however, could have just smiled and said something like 'Well, if you promise to keep it a secret, I'll make you a nice big batch of cookies all to yourself'...and then made a very special cookie indeed, with the lad's name on it so he knows it's all for him. She makes sure he eats it, has one of the untainted cookies herself, making sure someone or other sees them sharing the cookie moment. And then the wee laddie mysteriously dies. Hell, it can't be the cookies, because everyone saw Carol eat one herself and she's fine, and I doubt they have facilities for a full tox screen and/or autopsy.
Either way, kid's a dead duck.There's no other way to guarantee his silence.

Hmmm, I think you might have...been 'outside' for a bit too long.
been 'outside' for a bit too long.
Probably.
But then, I am also a 'Sherlock' (if you've done your research
). So...EDIT: Oh, and I'm also a INTJ personality type. Apparently, that puts me in the same bracket as Hannibals Barca and Lecter. Again, so...
